The Boy Who Could Change the World: The Writings of Aaron Swartz by Aaron Swartz

Semi read really... though still a good really. I want to come back to it. It has an amazing article on the history of school that's fascinating. He also has an interesting take on the idea of legacy. To Aaron, legacy is doing something that no one else is doing. It's about being irreplaceable. Aaron points out that there's ideas whose time has come, and if it was not you who discovered/implemented it, then someone else is right at your heels. Aaron was not interested in that.
